Lee Ann Womack’s Album Set for September

Lee Ann Womack will release a long-awaited new album on Sugar Hill Records in September. The first single from the album is expected this summer.

“When I was looking for the right home for this record, I knew I wanted a label where passion for music and artistic integrity drive the decision-making, the people who bring the music to the fans,” Womack says. “Beyond the incredible work Sugar Hill has done with Nickel Creek, Sarah Jarosz and Bryan Sutton, they have a broader way of looking at where music can go and why it matters — and for this very personal record, it seemed like the perfect fit.”

Womack partnered with her husband, producer-publisher Frank Liddell, to record the album. Liddell has produced albums for Miranda Lambert, David Nail and many more.

“I have always loved country music with my entire being, and I think the gift of a genre that’s built on real life is that there is always room for great songs and the truth,” she says. “When we started this record, Frank and I promised each other we would only cut songs that we absolutely loved for no reason other than we loved them very much. No other factors, and I think that freedom really inspired us.”
